Funeral and wake catering in Littleworth
Funeral and wake catering in Littleworth, fried fresh
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes at home and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space.
In a small place like Littleworth, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In winter, it’s dark in Littleworth by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

For event organisers in Littleworth
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
FAQs for Littleworth
Is Littleworth close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Littleworth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cover Littleworth?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Littleworth is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
